Elbaite with Albite
specimen number:
4571185
location:
Stak Nala, Skardu, Baltistan, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan
description:
Classic grouping for this locality with deep green lustrous slightly translucent terminated crystals of elbaite in a cluster with bladed white lustrous crystals of albite. This is crystallized completely all around. What at first appears to be damage on one of the crystals is completely natural, I believe this was a place where previous albite crystals were present and are now gone.
